    Currently there exists a proposal to create a permanent Camera Obscura on the roof of the Gallery of Photography.

    Rather tame, with just the clouds passing overhead (is rain on the aperature an issue?). In Edinburgh, the 19th-century camera obscura has a rooftop viewing terrace but the real fun is inside, where the revolving lenses and mirrors project a moving image of the city into a darkened room – try picking up a bus in the palm of your hand, as the publicity goes.
